Ingredients for melon and watermelon smoothie:
Before we get down to business, let’s take a look at the ingredients you’ll need to make this spectacular smoothie:
- 1 cup diced watermelon
- 1 cup diced cantaloupe
- 1 cup plain yoghurt (you can use Greek yoghurt if you want a creamier texture)
- 1/2 cup milk (can be cow’s milk, almond milk, soy milk, or any milk of your choice)
- 1 tbsp honey (optional, to add an extra touch of sweetness)
- Ice, a couple of ice cubes, to make the shake cold.
- Mint leaves, optional.
And that’s it! With just these few ingredients, we are ready to make magic in the blender.
How to make the melon and watermelon smoothie?
Step 1: Prepare the fruit
First, make sure the watermelon and cantaloupe are very cold. You can put them in the fridge for a few hours before making the smoothie to keep them nice and cool. Next, cut the watermelon and melon into small cubes.
Step 2: Blend the ingredients
Now, place the watermelon and melon cubes in the blender. Add the plain yoghurt and milk. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, use less milk; if you prefer it more liquid, add a little more. Then add the spoonful of honey for that natural sweetness along with the ice.
Step 3: Serve and enjoy
Once everything is well blended and has a smooth consistency, pour the smoothie into tall glasses. If you want to add an extra touch, garnish with some fresh mint leaves and voilà! You have a melon and watermelon smoothie ready to enjoy.
Additional advice
- If you like your smoothies even colder, you can freeze the melon and watermelon cubes before blending – this will make your smoothie super refreshing!
- For a lighter version, you can omit the yoghurt and use just milk or even coconut water.
- If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding some grated ginger or a pinch of cinnamon for a different twist.
And there you have it, an easy-to-make melon and watermelon smoothie that’s full of flavour and perfect for any time of day. This smoothie is not only delicious, but also nutritious, packed with vitamins and antioxidants to keep you hydrated and full of energy.
